    How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
    I love you to the depth and breadth and
    height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of
    sight
    For the ends of being and ideal grace.
    I love you to the level of every day’s
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
    I love thee purely, as they turn from
    praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s
    faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints. I love thee with the
    breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God
    choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.
